One thing I didnt mention is that they actually reduced the odds on Collector packs too. LCI had two slots for SG to appear, bringing the odds to about 8% per pack VS the 3% on MKM Collector packs.
I opened up a play booster box and got the field of the dead and the ghostly prison. Also got a Captain Ranger of Eos from the list, so I lucked out with those slots.
To all the people saying something to the effect “b-b-but I opened one”: 1) good for you, we’re all proud. 2) he didn’t explicitly say there’s an absolute zero percent chance, his main argument is that it’s so unlikely that gambling to try and get one is not a viable strategy for obtaining one. So inherently yes some of you would’ve pulled one and some of those will be ones they like, however I want you all to consider the notion of how much of that is just settling for a card you got and not a chase you fulfilled? And how many still, did not pull one at all that are not listed in your personal purview of being an outlier?
The only game I lost at prerelease was someone slamming a ghostly prison down(t3 every game), and I never drew past 4ish lands, and was never able to push my advantage when I had the chance. Made my salt levels go through the roof. This does not help lmao
At the pre release I didn't get any special guest or anything from the list. Every time my opponents played a card they got it changed the game to skew in their favor. They would win that game most of the time. I am not a fan of a format that gets warped that much by cards not really in the set.
The format doesnt necessarily get warped by SG. Let's say there's 50 players for PR. That's 300 packs being opened. So on average, there will be about 4 or 5 SG cards in the event. Then you need to factor in that the SG is one of the good ones, it lines up with the colours of your deck AND you draw it in a game and have the mana to cast it. It shouldn't be affecting you every limited event, but that doesn't mean it wont come up.
Saw someone at my prerelease next to me open a borderless field of the dead.
I read that as “lake of the dead” and my heart jumped. Lol
Nice to see more people reporting on the odds 👌I've seen way too many people buying packs for special guests cards, only to be left feeling empty..

Damn, I pulled a Field of the Dead in my pre release kit! :O
Man those odds are so low... Thanks for the info!
They also reduced the odds with Collector boosters too. With LCI Collector packs, you had two chances to get a SG card, so the odds came to about 8%.
@@attackoncardboard Well that's just sad. Guess I'll keep buying singles then. Thanks again! :D
My friend's friend got a Show and Tell on our draft Friday! Very cool
ooo nice! I love the art on that one!
😱 I didn't realize field of the Dead was a special guest card, I pulled that in a pre release kit.
Lies, I got the special guest I wanted. I got Tireless Tracker :)
Me too!

Nice! I still need to get a copy of Field of the Dead!

I opened a special guest card in a prize pack at my prerelease! Tragic Slip! Womp womp.
😂 Happened to my wife at Prerelease too, exact same card! 😂
Friend and I chipped in together to get a box. We got tragic slip. womp womp

The odds of that happening are extremely low, but of course, not impossible. The salt levels are indeed warranted.
I somehow opened a couple of packs and instatnly got crashing footfalls which was the only one I wanted
Very lucky!

is the % chance per slot, per pack or per box?
So it's 1.56% chance to get a SG per Play Booster and 3% chance per Collector Booster.
My luck. I pulled tireless tracker. Made also a Video of it and i'm so happy with it. Perfect fot Thalia and gitrog monster
Camble is best when you alread have an underworld breach
I pulled the
crashing footfalls
on friday felt really lucky
edit: Non foil
Awesome! Keeping it or trading it for some Commander spice?
I guess I beat the odds by getting a mythic special guest card
I drafted MKM and opened Tragic Slip lol
I ended up getting a show and tell out of my play booster box
Nice!
I actually opened a victimize ar my prerelease. It's not a "holy shit" card, but it does look good.
It's definitely one of my favorite arts. I'd imagine it would look amazing in foil 🤤
I got a gamble at the prerelease and in the same pack I got Incinerator of the Guilty
Also I won
Some times it do be like that 😂
Well I just got a show and tell from my prerelease
My favorite one!
watch me pull one
I believe!
